Summary of materials

The video materials that Dr Gord Douglas created for us are better summarised on the [Overview] page. 

Dr Douglas also co-authored an extensive handout - this is mostly aimed at medical students but nevertheless has some useful practical tips for all of us: ophthalmology handout.pdf

Here is a 20 min video but covers a lot of ground and has some interesting conditions - we show highlights from this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9wMJ6job_0 - amusing but slightly odd starting approach. But has some good pics of anomalies and also some using a model eye. 24:00 long. 11:30 to 12:00 shows moving across cornea quite clearly. Abnormalities:

12:17 - Hutchinson's sign with Shingles. 

Segment up to 13:30 is pretty good. 

14:30 - shows KPs. 

14:50 to 15:10  - another segment of the cells and flare

15:15 - hypopion

15:30 - hyphema

19:10 - corneal laceration

19:48 to 20:58 - explanation of aplanation tonometry

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePnhGyQCXmo - an hour long lecture on the slit lamp - the initial detail looks excessive but I suppose it might be worth looking at for other fine points. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57cysrc2Irc - neat tips on how to take pix with iPhone with no special attachment. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffmqrkPC4y4 - TED - a neat way to make 120 deg pix of fundus. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl11zib5TOs - from Dalhousie - covers the basics of slit lamp exam. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W__EF_sbKNo - this is a nice demonstration of the optic principles of the Indirect Ophthalmoscope. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grzPDD29FoU - nice short video showing cells and flare in a/c on slit lamp. Stop at 1:02
